Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong was dumbfounded by Huan'er's actions, he was really kind to Huan'er, he would give him what he wanted, if it wasn't for Huan'er's biological father taking care of him, I'm afraid this child would be used to become a bear by Xiao Zirong sooner or later child.

So as the prince, Huan'er was never short of money.

But he has no place to spend money. His basic necessities are his uncle, his parents, and even his retired emperor's grandfather. As a prince, Huan'er can be said to be loved by thousands of people.

He was also really well taught by Xiao Ji, plus their gentleness is almost in the same line, Huan'er can't see his uncle unhappy the most.

So the children generously contributed their own small treasury.

Xiao Zirong hugged Huan'er and kissed happily: "I don't love you for nothing, okay, you keep your own money, you can buy what you like, just don't treat yourself too harshly."

Xiao Ji at the side sighed, and decided to go back and continue talking with his son.

Yaoshou, if this goes on like this, his son might be brought to ruin.

Qi already had a wayward emperor, and there could be no second one.

But don't look at Xiao Zirong's self-confidence in front of Huan'er, his face collapsed after the person left.

To be honest, except when he first arrived in Taoyuan City, Xiao Zirong has never been short of money in his life.

Now it should be regarded as the most in his history, and this time it is a bit more exaggerated. In the past, whether it was Taoyuan City or Jinling, the lack of money would not cause too much chain reaction, but the lack of money in the treasury... Xiao Zirong felt a headache thinking about it. .

It's true that he can make money, but he also has time to make money, even if he has a cheat, he has to work hard on his own, it's not true that he can make money by doing something casually.

The most important thing is that he is already the emperor, and many things are not easy to do, otherwise, even if he doesn't care, someone will definitely persuade him.

He felt he needed a "spokesperson" to help him with his business.

Xiao Zirong was thinking about these things in his mind, and when he wrote a letter to Xiao Xuexing, he couldn't help being coquettish: "When will you come back, I miss you so much."

In fact, it was not only Xiao Zirong who missed Xiao Xuexing, but also all the ministers in the court.

Then Xiao Xuexing appeared in front of him on the fourth day after he finished writing the letter.

After Xiao Zirong saw Xiao Xuexing, he looked around and found that he was surrounded by his own people, so he cheered and rushed over and jumped on Xiao Xuexing's body.

Xiao Xuexing hugged him firmly, Xiao Zirong held his face with his head down and said, "You lost weight!"

However, although she lost weight, she was in much better condition than when she came back from the last expedition, so Xiao Zirong didn't feel too much heartache, just take care of her when she comes back.

Xiao Xuexing carried him to the throne, sat down and asked, "A lot of troubles lately?"

Xiao Zirong also tended to lose weight a bit.

In fact, it is not easy for him and Xiao Zirong to lose weight now that they are both old. Fortunately, both of them have good physiques and don't like to be fat, so they don't need to control their diet. Don't you see that Xiao Ji has already started to eat health-preserving meals.

So once Xiao Zirong loses weight, there must be something else that disturbs his mood and thus interferes with his eating.

Xiao Xuexing didn't think that the time he was away would make Xiao Zirong forget about tea and food. Although the two of them get together as if they are in love all the time, they also have a rational side.

Xiao Zirong hugged him, put his chin on his shoulder and muttered all the recent things.

Simply put, apart from lack of money, everything else is easy to say.

However, for lack of money, even Xiao Xuexing has no good solution.

His younger brother is full of talent in making money, Xiao Zirong can't do anything, so what can he do?

Of course Xiao Xuexing has money in his hands, but he didn't say that he would use the money to do these things. Ever since Xiao Zirong was desperate to prevent the epidemic, he decided to keep his money, just in case one day Xiao Zirong's heart softened He spent a lot of money on people's livelihood and forgot about himself. His money is to ensure that Xiao Zirong's living standard does not decline.

Xiao Zirong originally didn't want Xiao Xuexing to worry about it, it's just that no one except Xiao Xuexing could make him say what he wanted to say.

Otherwise, how can we say that the emperor is lonely?

Xiao Zirong didn't ask Xiao Xuexing how the epidemic situation in the North was, perhaps because he subconsciously didn't want to ask.

And even if he didn't ask Xiao Xuexing, he would organize it into a written report and send it up.

After the two of them bid farewell to Siamese twins the next day, Xiao Zirong picked up the document Xiao Xuexing handed over and opened it for a look.

Then it was discovered that Xiao Xuexing did not close the city directly, but chose to move all the sick patients together, and the healthy people continued to stay in the city.

The core idea is probably: those who are ill and cannot be cured should not infect normal people.

In this process, they will definitely be blocked by ordinary people. For others, those people are terrible existences infected with the epidemic, but for relatives, how can they be willing to let their family members live and die?

It's just a feudal society. No one pays attention to the feelings of ordinary people when the ruler makes an order.

What's more, Xiao Xuexing still can't hold on to the cruelty, and the epidemic will never subside.

However, Xiao Xuexing didn't really let these people fend for themselves, but spent money to get herbal medicine, and boiled the medicine for these people according to the prescription Yuan Ke gave.

Everyone knows that the medicine may not be useful, but the advantage is that the materials are simple and cheap.

It seems that when Yuan Ke was researching this thing, he also had a string in his mind. He knew that it was easy to spread the infection, so the antidote was to find a way to get cheaper and common medicinal materials, which should be to prepare for the control of the epidemic.

It's a pity who knew that he would become mentally abnormal later on?If he had had this sense when he was in Xianyang, the epidemic situation in Beidi should not be so severe now.

When Xiao Zirong saw this article, she couldn't help but glanced at it with a smile, Xiao Xue said without raising her head, "Don't be too happy, if you really can't save these people, you still have to deal with them."

Hey, his heart is getting softer and softer. If it was before, he wouldn't keep these uncertain dangers.

But he shouldn't be happy if he really killed his brother, so let's save him if he can.

Xiao Zirong secretly smiled, not only because of this matter, the most important thing is that the epidemic situation in the Northland is much better than he imagined.

Every time he thinks about the extent of the epidemic in later generations, his scalp tingles. Nowadays, medical treatment and protection methods are not good enough. Ordinary people may not even be able to guarantee the most basic hygiene. Drinking raw water abounds. He doesn't know the truth At that point, the Qi Congress will not destroy the country because of this matter.

It turned out that the epidemic was more likely to be around Xianyang. Although there were other places, but because most of the places had been taken over by Qi at that time, the control was not bad.

At first, Xiao Zirong wondered if someone lied about this data, but later he realized that the traffic in Beidi...is inconvenient!

Compared to the south where many flat cement roads have been built, and even the railway network is being planned and built little by little, the northern land is still at the average traffic level of this era, and the most accessible and flat roads are the official roads made of rammed earth.

It is also because the transportation is underdeveloped, so the commercial trade in the north is not as good as that in the south, but the corresponding flow of people is also lower than that in the south. This means that although the epidemic is severe, many relatively closed places have not appeared at all.

Xiao Zirong took a deep breath and put down the paperwork in his hand and said to Xiao Xuexing, "It's much better than I thought."

Xiao Xuexing raised his head and said: "Although Chang'an is very close to Xianyang, it has already been controlled initially. If you want to build the city, it is not impossible."

Xiao Zirong's eyes lit up: "Just for you to see the newly designed Chang'an City."

Xiao Zirong not only designed Chang'an City, but even made a sand table.

Xiao Xuexing took a look and knew that the overall planning of Chang'an City was actually similar to that of Jinling's industrial zone, but the scale was bigger and more orderly.

Xiao Zirong pointed to a house closest to the palace and said, "I leave this place to you, you can think about how to pretend."

Xiao Xuexing had been to Chang'an, put the sand table on the current map of Chang'an and said, "Well, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

Xiao Zirong stopped worrying: "It's okay, the big deal is to open more waterways. The farthest trade now is to Persia, and it hasn't reached the theoretical limit."

After saying this, he suddenly felt a little puzzled: "No, why didn't the merchant ship come back last month?"

Now Xiao Zirong has a lot of business, and actually doesn't often pay attention to the news from the trading company, but the people below are more careful, and will report the data every month, such as how many things are traded, how much the cost is, how much the profit is, and how much the merchant ship has run away. No matter what, I won't hide it.

Generally, the data of the previous month is given at the moonrise of the next month, but the data of the previous month has not been given since this month is already in the middle of the month.

Xiao Zirong called someone over to inquire about it, and the current shopkeeper of the firm said with a sad face: "Your Majesty previously stipulated that those who came back must be quarantined. As a result, some of the people who came back last month were infected with the plague. Now they are treating these sailors by the way. Disinfect the cargo."

No one knows whether the goods can withstand the disinfection of the disinfectant. What if there is any damage?So the shopkeeper didn't dare to report the data.

Xiao Zirong couldn't help being surprised when he heard it: "How did you get infected with the plague? Didn't you say not to have any contact with Xie Da for the time being?"

The shopkeeper of the firm didn't know either. He did strictly ask the people below not to come into contact with the Heda people, but he still got infected.

For this reason, he also investigated carefully, what if someone took risks for money?

As a result, no one broke the rules, and these sailors made a lot of money, so there was no need to risk their lives for some money.

When Xiao Zirong knew about this, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

As a result, within two days, merchant ships from Persia and India brought envoys from their countries and asked for only one thing: to buy the magic medicine at a high price.

Xiao Zirong was dumbfounded when he saw the two sides competing with each other for a straight-up quotation.

Here comes the money?
